Avenpa Tool

One site with a set of small jobs. You open the page, get the number or the finished file, and close the tab. Nothing asks you to register first.

What is in it

Grouped by the job they do.

Every name below links straight into the live site.

Engineering

How it is built

The short version, minus the architecture diagram.

01

Pages first, server second

Every page is prerendered and served straight from the edge. The worker only wakes up for the routes that genuinely need logic, so a cache hit never costs anyone a cold start.

02

Media in the browser

Canvas and FileReader do the image work on the device holding the photo, so the file is never sent anywhere and there is no queue to wait in.

03

One database, no dependencies

Accounts, sessions and saved tools live in SQLite bound to the worker. There is no separate database host to be down at 2am.

04

Numbers carry tests

A calculator that is quietly wrong is worse than none, so the rates and thresholds are asserted in the test run rather than trusted.

The difference

Not in it

Worth naming, because most tool sites do exactly the opposite.

01

Tools open for anyone with the link

An account exists only if you want to save what you made. Nothing you open asks you to register first.

02

One step between you and the number

The tool opens with the fields you need and the answer underneath them. There is nothing to dismiss first.

03

Numbers with a year on them

Where a rate or a threshold is applied, the page says which year it is for.

Something missing?

If a calculation came out wrong, say which tool and what you expected. Those messages get fixed first.
